Feel like crap. Weather change and loads stress at work is killing me as well as taking the infested diseased nyc subways to and fro every day. Just receivedSolitary Fitness in the mail today so I am stoked.

Skipping my Deadlift (Singles) 515 (x5sets) as they won't help my strength, my form/technique on deadlifts is good and more rest will help for Fridays session. Instead I will be doing SOLITARY FITNESS DAY 1 which I will post a little later once its done. Getting close to the meet so need to think big picture and just build.

Other amendments to my training pdf program is no axle bench press with feet off the bench have been done, will start feet on bench pressing again but with a barbell and the weight/reps/sets will vary based on how I feel.

I haven't been pausing the bench press since its too stressful and counter-productive to my strength gains at this point.

Tuesday Oct 16 no zombie squat 405/425. I might just do 315 for max reps or versus chains.

A lot of things actually will change for training but the main vince anello 20lbs every 2 weeks on the deadlift and 20lbs each week more on the squat slowly lower the reps but keep 2 sets will stay.

On a side note my debit/checking was jacked few weeks ago which I managed to fix everything get all my money back but last pay check was in limbo due to the changes, I finally get that money tomorrow so I can order much needed supplements as nutrition has been horrid1610 Nov 18, ELITE @242 or die trying.

Heart almost wasn't in it. I was dilly dallying procrastinated in the city with a friend for a spontaneous drink when I should have either went to train or rest so I can train the next day... train delays and all other non-sense lead me to do 5seated pull ups and 7 standing chin ups on the train in normal people clothes.

... Long story short, 3-4am or not I went to the ****ing gym
